b-uncut: the virtual gallery gets real!
// November 17th, 2009 // View Comments // b-scene
Last night b-uncut came alive in the flesh. A big shout out to everyone who came and partied with us. The whole team worked really hard and put on a fantastic show. There was great art, great conversation and a bit of the aha factor as press, collectors and artists saw first hand what we’re about at b-uncut.com.
Artists in attendance included Philip Letts, Stephen Farley, Blandine Martin, Sandra Wray, Sayed Hassan, Jason Ellis, and Shikyba Azizi. The evening began with cocktails and a casual stroll around our gallery space where visitors and members of the press got a chance to view some fantastic art and talk to the b-uncut artists in person.
There was quite a buzz (and it was not the prosecco talking) surrounding Letts’ unique ‘blur Photography’ pieces, charismatic Farley’s visually (and physically!) stimulating ‘textural’ art (everyone was compelled to rub it) and Azizi’s dark but captivating sculptural installation.
Philip Letts, founder of b-uncut, gave a demonstration of how to navigate the website to a crowd of 50 including artists, online and offline press, collectors, and art enthusiasts. The demo provided insight into the theory behind b-uncut’s ethos: create an art marketplace that is artist centric as opposed to the traditional (and played-out) dealer centric marketplace in position now. We are a unique crowd, all about empowering the artist through the power of the net, so visit us at our home on b-uncut.net or b-uncut.com. And get ready for our next party – SPRING WAREHOUSE. We’ll keep you informed.
